Redbrik

What Redbrik does

Redbrik is an independent UK estate and letting agency operating under the legal entity MJM Real Estate Limited, focused on the South Yorkshire and Derbyshire catchment. Founded in 2013 from a single Chesterfield office, the company has expanded to four branch locations — Chesterfield (Glumangate), two Sheffield sites (Ecclesall Road and Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre), and a dedicated Land & New Homes operation — and now employs over 80 property specialists. Its primary customers are individual home buyers and sellers, landlords, tenants, and regional new-home developers; commercial property services are offered through the sister company Bothams Commercial.

The core product set comprises residential sales, lettings and rental management, new homes advisory, and property valuations, supplemented by an International service for cross-border transactions. The company's principal brand-differentiating offering is Redbrik SecureMove™, a proprietary transaction process claimed to deliver 33% faster completions and 30% fewer fall-throughs. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through physical branches, online property portals, and telephone channels; there is no mobile app, public API, or disclosed third-party integrations. The company has completed over 9,500 sales since inception and operates a registered charitable arm, the Redbrik Foundation (est. 2020, charity no. 1188949), focused on local causes in the same geography.

Redbrik is privately held with no identified institutional investors, PE backers, or parent company; ownership appears founder/management-led under Co-Founder & Managing Director Mark Ross, with branch-level Directors (David in Sheffield, Peter in Land & New Homes) and area/department managers reporting into the operating structure. Revenue is generated through a mix of transaction commissions on sales, recurring fees on lettings and management mandates, project fees on new homes, and professional-services fees on valuations. The business is self-funded with no external capital raises on record.
